The cameras that stayed on Discovery showed it cracking
This episode details the challenges faced by Space Shuttle Discovery during its final mission, STS-133, as engineers race against time to address unprecedented issues. It explores the series of technical problems that threatened to ground the most experienced spacecraft ever built.
Mission: STS-133
Spacecraft: Space Shuttle Discovery
Original Launch Date: September 16, 2010
Actual Launch Date: February 24, 2011
Crew: Six astronauts
- Engineers bolted diagnostic cameras to Discovery's external fuel tank to monitor cracking during the countdown, intending to remove them before launch.
- The STS-133 mission, also known as Utilization and Logistics Flight Five, was tasked with delivering the Leonardo Permanent Multipurpose Module.
- Delays began with a monomethyl hydrazine leak detected by a "fishy smell" from the Orbital Maneuvering System propellant line.
- A subsequent hydrogen leak at the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate stopped fueling, revealing an internal seal compression issue.
- Inspection teams later found cracks in the spray-on foam insulation and two nine-inch cracks in stringer S-72, one of the tank's aluminum-lithium ribs.
